We know that Jeremy Roenick thought it was a really bad decision but perhaps that’s why he’s not a head coach. After being such a success as a forward […]

Contrary to popular AMERICAN belief, American IS NOT the only country where one can speak freely. And indeed Canada happens to a be a free country where lots of folks, particularly in respect to Hockey, speak quite freely and sometimes controversially. The point of the article wasn’t to lambaste Roenick’s right to free speech, rather to indicate that sometime the message is lost in the delivery. Sometimes we end up discussing the orator’s method rather than his/her intended information. No need to sound the communist alarm bells. Just a journalist invoking his AMERICAN right to speak freely. Sheesh!

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 19:22:11 +0000http://localhost/wp/3.0/?p=15552#comment-6712I agree that Byfuglien should be a forward. However, the best thing about having him on a team is that he can play both positions. The question is, however, does a sun belt team who loses money want a player who can bring new fans to the game, skating along the blueline or raising havoc in front of the net. I’ve watched him since he was in Chicago and money and putting fans in the seats aside, he’s coming into his own as an offensive player, skillset-wise, emotinally and physically. Leave him there. You had all off season to sign defensemen and you had the money to do so. Let the kid play where he belongs Dudley (etal.) unless some of the old school Wirtz selfishness has rubbed off on you. Let ’em get in there and battle with the best, in front of the net. Ask Vancouver and San Jose why the Hawks beat them into submission and why their players were so frustrated (especially the goalies). You want to lose him mentally…keep him at defense. My opinion only.

If someone doesn’t like it they can leave the country ASAP! He’s speaking his mind, which is his right being American1 What’s the problem. I think more people should be as honest as him. Thinking Byfuglien could score 15 as a D almost made me choke. He will score more like 7 if that. He won’t be back there long and JR would deke the hell out of him if he was playing against him in his prime, so he can say that. You saying “but delivering it in such an impassioned and exasperated way is only going to get people like us to talk about him and not his message” is pretty retarded considering it’s the AMERICAN way. I would think you would be used to it by now! I think hockey needs more people like him that can speak their mind without caring what other people think like Curt Schilling I hate him, but respect him for always speaking his mind like any AMERICAN has the right to do!
